MY FICS

The Kingmaker!Sami Series. In order to preserve the person Sami saw in Jey, he would have to kill the person Jey saw in Sami. (Canon-divergent from the Royal Rumble 2023. End goal is Wiseman!Sami/Tribal Chief!Jey but the road there is long and circuitous). Tumblr tag.

Prologue: into the new dark light (M, 956, Sami/Jey, (past-ish) Sami/Kevin). With the swing of a chair, Sami severs a piece of his soul.

Book 1: (memories you) bury or live by (T, 5/7 chapters (12.3k), Sami/Jey, background unrequited Sami/Solo, the haunting presence of past!Sami/Kevin). Sami struggles to remember and process the events of the Royal Rumble. Jey discovers the wonders of polyamory. Solo endures his crush and his brother flirting in front of his salad. Jimmy has a fun weekend road trip with his brothers. Roman Reign's days are numbered.

those bets and betters (T, 926, Becky/Seth(/)Bron/Bronson, post-break up). Becky talks to Bron and Bronson in the aftermath of their betrayal of Seth.

"I let you hold my child." That was not what Becky had intended to say when she sought out her husband's disloyal hounds.

^ this is my favorite fic i've ever written and it's also the shortest! go read it!

time enough for everything (T, 1.5k, Bron/Bronson(/)Seth/Becky). Instead of a glorious celebration of Bronson's pin on Randy Orton, Bronson and Bron spend the aftermath of their victory discussing their faction-mates' behaviour.

"So,” Bron said eventually. “I guess we should make a list or something, yeah? Pros and cons. Paul Heyman versus Seth Rollins." "Or we could go with whoever annoys us less in the moment," Bronson half-joked. Bron snorted. "Well, Paul's a pompous prick, but Seth's a delusional dick, so."

wolf-were gimmick (E, 4.9k, Bron/Bronson). How one dog learned to stop worrying and love being covered in blood. (Coda to BronBron vs the Usos, Wrestlepalooza 2025)

Bron's mouth went dry. Bronson, licking his whole body clean like some sort of big cat grooming its cub, manhandling him this way and that to reach every spot, using his tongue and lips and teeth to reset his skin until he couldn't feel the phantom of crimson trails congealing on his front and running down his back… "Yeah," he replied. Yeah, that sounded like a hell of a treat.

kinda that outlet for you (T, 2.3k, Sami/Jey, hurt/comfort). After weeks of anxiety, confusion, and listening to Roman, Jey gives in and calls Sami.

Jey knew he was being ridiculous, to have told Sami about the funny baby but not the mayor career news that had happened that same day. It was just. Every time he went to do it, the words got stuck on his throat. Sami's wide-eyed confusion after Jey superkicked him off the apron at the Rumble was stuck in a loop in his head, morphing into Jimmy's indignation. He didn't want to hear it, not from Sami.

beg our legs to take us (T, 3.4k, Sami/Jey) In which sore winners and gracious losers fail to ask for what they need, but receive it anyway (Coda to the 2026 Royal Rumble)

"He's tough." Jey sighed. "I know," he said like a confession. Of course he did. Few people knew better than the two of them just what kind of damage Sami Zayn could walk off.

violence feels like my choice (E, 2.3k, Sami/Jey) After that tense encounter backstage, Sami and Jey find it impossible not to gravitate back to each other (Episode coda to Smackdown Jun. 19, 2026)

Sami's gaze softens for a second, even as the fist in Jey's beard tightens. Something in Jey snaps into place; tension seeps out of his spine. Sami has made it clear he doesn't want Jey's comfort, but he can do this. He can give Sami the respect and deference he has been craving so badly.

kryptonite.mp3 (T, 1.2k, Sami/Jey) Jey apologizes poorly. Sami gets some things out of his chest (Episode Coda to Smackdown July 03, 2026)

'uce?' He sent, and regretted it instantly. 'fuck u jus told me to stay away and im still at it ill stop now sorry' The phone rang immediately.

[vacuously-true]

I think I’m literally never gonna be sick of this masterpiece. I think watching it on a loop for eight hours could fix me. Dancing’s what clears my soul. Dancing’s what makes me whole.

[dimmadoome]

I just love that this very video is an accumulation of thousands of years worth of art made by people who have never met each other. The concept of this video was so completely unfathomable to every single artist who made the sculptures and yet they’ve all put something toward the creation of it.

I never get tired of this video. The comedic density is off the fucking charts.

[tell-the-stars-hello]

this was cute until i realized the fish is probably trying to not get eaten

[killhitleragain]

A fish trying not to get eaten wouldn’t slow down when the “predator” slows down. It also wouldn’t constantly swim in a circle near the edge of the tank; It’d try hiding. Also a fish in a tank in a a public place that is constantly filled with people is not likely to see people as predators.

[darkwingsnark]

Animals, I think people tend to forget, also enjoy playing.

[bunjywunjy]

yeah that fish is absolutely playing with that kid, if it really wanted to escape it would just dive into the reef in the center of the tank!

(Moorish Idols are reef fish and naturally will seek shelter in the nearest nook or cranny if they get scared.)

many people don’t realize this, but fish aren’t stupid animals! most of them are on par with mammals like mice and squirrels in terms of intelligence, and they absolutely do play.

[i-need-glitter]

I was at an aquarium a few years ago and decided to sketch a fish. It came up to me.

I decided to flip the book around and pressed it against the glass. Fish lost it

Swam away then came back with MORE FISH

to this day I love those little sketches and I really love how I got the fish to bring me it’s friends

[mysticdoodles]

Hi! Professional marine biologist and aquarist here- fish absolutely play, and not only that, can be trained.

I accidentally trained a fish once through playing.

Let me explain.

The small-time aquarium I worked at about 4 years ago had a decent sized female Sheephead. Sheephead are bright red with the males sporting a black head, and get big. I’m talking almost 1m long at full maturity (and may or may not transition from female to male depending on the number of males present). Point is, even though not fully matured, this Sheephead was a bit of a heavyweight in her kelp forest tank with a length of about 1ft making her the resident Biggest Dog In The Yard. And she absolutely knew it. She would bully her tankmates if she wanted to steal their food.

The thing about this Sheephead- let’s call her Red- is that she had one heck of a ‘tude. Red was known to splash aquarists whenever they fed the tank, and at almost a foot long with a wide tail, her splashes had quite a bit of heft and would soak you from the torso down. We were advised to bring a towel or two to protect ourselves from most of the drenching. When it was my go-around to feed Red’s tank, I was fairly new to the little facility, but I had been warned in advance of Red’s penchant for food thievery. I noticed she would follow my hand movements, so I slowly moved to drop her food in a far corner, and fed her tankmates directly from my hands or by tong if they were too deep. I always made sure Red had plenty to eat, but I didn’t want her to associate the food with bad behavior, so I treated her to a bit extra food whenever she didn’t steal food. One day, she made a beeline to the surface so fast that she did a small jump, her entire head breaching the water. She wasn’t bothering her tankmates or doing anything remotely dangerous- and full disclosure, it was cute seeing a fish jump for joy- so I laughed and gave her another piece of food.

Naturally, positive reinforcement led to her connecting the dots that jumping at the surface, even the tiny jumps she was doing, meant she got more food.

This started to become an everyday occurrence, whenever I was assigned to feed Red’s tank. She would jump, just enough for her head to pop out, then she’d wait patiently for me to give her the treat she CLEARLY earned. It even got to the point that she’d open her mouth and I’d drop the food right into those massive jaws- this was preferable to her Kenghis Khan-ing her way through a shower of chopped squid like the Tasmanian Devil, as there was less risk of her accidentally (or purposefully) biting a tankmate that got too close. Red became a polite eater for the first time.

It wasn’t until I noticed she followed me around outside of feeding time that I realized Red was playing with me.

I never got splashed by Red even once. My coworkers, however, received quite the dunking whenever it was their turn to feed the kelp tank.

There are many benefits to being a marine biologist

The difference between "There used to be hot summers too,” and a climate crisis.

[propheticfire]

Look, we all know this is true. But there isn't a SOURCE for this, and the graph itself is basically illegible beyond "ooh colors". If we want to be good stewards of our informational resources, we need to cite our sources.

From a reverse image search, I found the website Show Your Stripes, run by the University of Reading in the UK, which is likely where the above graph originated. It provides temperature data for various regions of the world from approximately 1900-2025. For example, here are graphs for Canada, India, and Papua New Guinea:

All clearly show a sharp rise in temperature beginning around approximately the 1980s, which corresponds with the graph in OP's post. But now we know where this data came from, and we can verify its validity accordingly.

Good video showcasing exactly why these dogs are not suited to 99 percent of households.

They've gotten very popular recently and I suspect theyre also being dumped in shelters at a high rate

[ultramarineblues]

I can confirm they are.

Which is one of the reasons I reblogged this, I vaguely hope it might make someone somewhere reconsider their choices

[partywithponies]

Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???

[urlocalpyshcopan]

as a black gay person real like where y'all be finding this stuff pass the name

[brainsforbabyjesus]

for real though, those DO NOT WATCH OR YOU'LL CORRUPT YOUR CHILDREN lists put out by conservative christian family groups is where I find all the stellar tv shows. Like, shit I didn't know half of those existed, thanks for finding them for me, gonna go watch 30 hours of gay tv now!

[infamousbrad]

I think I know how this works.

For personal context, before I went to the '98 Burning Man festival, one of the things I'd read from a couple different journalists was that "everybody" runs around naked. Which, fine by me, I'd already spent a lot of time in clothing-optional spaces, I'm not fanatic about it but it's nice.

So I got there early and set up a public shade structure on one of Black Rock City's main roads and spent most of each afternoon just watching the crowds go by. I don't remember seeing more than one actually naked person the whole week. I think a topless woman passed by my intersection maybe every half an hour, sometimes once an hour. So why in the hell were people, normally pretty smart and observant writers, coming away with the impression that everybody was naked?

Then I remembered an unrelated passage from Joel Garreau's great book about the history of the outer-ring suburbs, Edge City. Mall developers told him flat-out that they tried to keep the crowds in their malls less than 5% black. Not because they themselves were racist, but because they had determined, experimentally, that if more than 5% of the people in the mall are black, the median white shopper will wrongly describe the mall as at least half black, as mostly black. And not a few of them would describe it, at 6% black, as a mall where "only black people go." Why?

Because, emotionally, they were still upset over the last one when the next one came into view.

Same as the journalists describing Black Rock City as all naked. Same as the right-wing religious culture warriors describing television as entirely mixed-race and gender non-conforming. Not because it's even vaguely true, we know that, but because they haven't gotten over their discomfort over the last one by the time the next one comes along. The anger, not the stimulus, is the part that's continuous, so their mind lies to them that it's "all" the thing they can't get over.

[kagedtiger]

"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"

I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,

this is so late renaissance early mannerism. the controversial male nudity? the lighting and value on the figure of emphasis?? him bathed in light and placed ABOVE while the police are clad in dark and BELOW?? Uh HES HITTING THE CONTRAPPOSTO??

[emmarose17]

On one hand: this imagery touches on themes of freedom vs oppression and how in shedding the various layers of shame placed upon us by the regime we can transcend to a higher place above the forces that seek to hold us to unjust societal standards.

On the other hand: cheeks out at the Krispy Kreme.

[busket]

white people appropriating aave is always irritating but specifically the use of "-ahh" like "goofy-ahh" "stupid-ahh" bro if you are not black just say ass. ass belongs to everyone, dumbass. are you afraid of cursing?? youre stealing the language of black americans cos you don't want to be caught saying a bad word like ASS ?

Since it's mid-august it's time for a reminder for the DIY folks or those who like to cosplay

[thelooniemoonie]

It's about that time of year again, and after having this circulate for a year now, it interesting seeing some observations:

Despite making this post in August, this post spikes in brief periods throughout the year, depending on when folks like to start.
